Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...in all grades of society. Dr. Napheys truthfully says: " Its hold is just as firm, though concealed and held in check, in the fashionable clubs and stately mansions of the opulent as in the alleys and back slums of the dregs of our population. No man, no woman, we care not what his position or his life may be, is secure from its loathsome touch."

Hardcover First Edition in Good+ condition without a dust jacket. This edition features dark maroon, wine-colored cloth-covered boards with embossed lettering and stamped titles on the front.

The covers display rubbing along the edges, with small splits at the spine caps, but remain in decent shape overall. The binding is firm though slightly leaned forward. Edges of the text block show expected toning for a book over a century old. The interior pages are lightly tanned but clean and unmarked, with minor abrasion to the front flyleaf. This book provides a moral and practical guide for young men, emphasizing personal and social purity. Stall highlights the importance of addressing topics often considered sensitive, driven by the growing influence of purity movements of the time, such as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Young Men's Christian Association. The text discusses the role of education, faith, and community in fostering a higher standard of moral character, offering insights relevant to the social values of the late 19th century.
